³ “If he would dispute with Him, he could not answer Him one thing of a thousand.

⁴ “He is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has been fierce against him and has prospered?

⁵ “He removes the mountains and they do not feel when He overthrows them in His wrath.

⁶ “He shakes the Earth out of its place, so that its pillars tremble.

⁷ “He Commands the Sun, and it does not rise. He seals up the stars.

⁸ “He alone spreads out the heavens and walks upon the height of the sea.

⁹ “He makes Arcturus, Orion, Pleiades, and the chambers of the South.

¹⁰ “He does great things, and unsearchable, indeed, marvelous things, without number.

¹¹ “Lo, when He passes by me, I do not see Him. And when He passes by, I do not perceive Him.

¹² “Behold, when He takes away, who can make Him restore it? Who shall say to Him, ‘What are you doing?’
